Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring preparation. "Sites are very close together with just a small spot of outdoor personal space. The campground sits on a hillside with multiple gravel roads," reports Nancy C. about Mayberry Campground.

Hook-up variations: Mayberry Campground provides full hookup options for RVs. "Clean full hookup sites. Level, easy access. Close to Mount Airy. Only one bathroom but it's clean and has clean showers," notes Bob B., highlighting the practical amenities.
